10.8
Replacing an ICR (transferring the parameter set)
Replace an ICR and transfer the current parameter set to the new device by downloading
the parameters from CLV Setup.
The parameter set can only be transferred between identical device types (e.g. from one
ICR 84x to another ICR 84x etc.).
10.8.1
Transferring the parameter set using a download
To transfer the parameter set using a download, you must connect a PC running the CLV
Setup software to the replacement device. The parameter set of the ICR that is to be
replaced must be available as a configuration file in CLV Setup, otherwise the device must
be parameterized from scratch.
1.
Switch off the power supply of the CDB 420 or CDM 420 Connection Module (of the
ICR).
2.
Disconnect the ICR connector from the CDB 420 or CDM 420.
3.
Remove the ICR from the bracket.
Before doing so, mark the position and alignment on the bracket/station.
4.
Install, align, and connect the replacement device.
5.
Connect the PC to the auxiliary interface of the ICR using a 3-core RS 232 data cable
(null modem cable) (CDB 420 or CDM 420: connect the PC to the internal, 9-pin “Aux“
plug). See
Chapter 5.5.7 “Connecting the PC“, Page 5-12
– or –
Connect the PC to the Ethernet interface of the ICR.
Chapter 5.5.6 “Connecting the Ethernet interface“, Page 5-10
.
6.
Switch on the power supply to the CDB 420 or CDM 420.
After the ICR has been started and has successfully completed the self-test, it outputs
a tone and then two consecutive tones shortly afterwards when the Reading mode is
initiated. The “Device Ready“ LED lights up.
7.
Switch on the PC and start Windows.
8.
Start “CLV Setup“.
If the communication parameters on the PC and ICR are identical, CLV Setup uploads
the parameter set from the ICR and displays the values on the tabs.
9.
Open the archived parameter set as a configuration file “*.scl“ in CLV Setup and
download it to the ICR.
10. Confirm the dialog box by choosing the T
EMPORARY
storage option.
11. Check whether the ICR reads the bar codes correctly.
Correct the parameter settings if necessary.
12. Finally, download the tested parameter set to the ICR and save it with the
P
ERMANENT
storage option.
The parameter set is transferred permanently to the replacement device.
13. Save the modified parameter set as a new configuration file in CLV Setup.
Troubleshooting
If the software version on the replacement device is older than the version on the old ICR
(e.g. new device is from warehouse stock), the parameter set transferred may contain
coded parameters or parameter values that cannot be interpreted by the older software.
The new device, however, outputs an error message in CLV Setup for each of these
parameters/values when the parameter set is downloaded.
